Yes, Goldfield & Banks, from a land of high waves and numerous beaches, is aquatic-citric. Not an easy task, especially with me. Often it seems too artificial to me to bring in the sea. Often less but more or in this case really is sea feeling in fact.

I can smell it, a beautiful sun oil with lemon, in the background you can smell a slight hint of sea scent, but discreet - a little mossy, a few pieces of wood are lying around, sage doesn't pierce my nose like that, but perhaps interacts with the other ingredients.

You want to plunge into the sea right away, even if the surf is dangerous. The surfer just wakes up in you. The fragrance is so pleasant, especially in summer, light and untroubled, but still clearly perceptible, without appearing any synthetically intrusive. There you can endure it and stroll on the beach or just chill on the towel and then venture into the surf. It is really a water of life or of joie de vivre.

For me "Pacific Rock Moss" is truly aquatic in a positive sense. Where Creed's "Virgin Island Water" is already a great summer scent, it still adds some sea. I wouldn't want to miss either of them in their own way. Some think in both cases a lot of money for so much simplicity, but especially in the aquatic area many went swimming, for example the "Aqva Amara", which in this sense is only slightly above average for me, whose expression is not so good for me. He wouldn't work for me as a collector of compliments, if you will, I don't feel comfortable, here already.

Only then will this formula work and not, as is so often shown today, as a self-runner. That's why I got myself a fresh piece of Australia and enjoyed it for myself

Of course, it is a difficult task to put an already polarizing women's perfume into a masculine context. "Alien Man" or Mugler has it not easy in this respect, the proponents will sometimes measure it supercritically, the critics quickly condemn. Some may have been waiting for this.

For me, it's a neutral story. I am a fan of the original, if it fits to the respective woman/lady, it has really something beguiling extraterrestrial, if one can attest this to a perfume. At least it is different, even if it smells more and more and some cannot handle the dosage. I like the corners and edges and the distinctive tone in any case fundamentally.

But so far, so good. Now it is valid to conjure a male scent out of it. I like the final effect and it seems to harmonize on my skin. If I don't say what it is, there has been a remarkable amount of goodwill for it, but that's not the point for me.

A mix of berries appears on a darker touch, which has something slightly leathery-smoky. I smell liquorice bonds more than dill. For all who are afraid to pass for herbal liqueur. The whole thing develops really very well in the sense of this mix, doesn't have this brilliant effect, like the women's version, but it's very successful, if you consider the undertaking again.

I even like him more and more of the good "Alien Man". I just hope it doesn't please too many and you can smell it inflationary everywhere. At the moment for me 9/10 with air up. A difficult task, but one that has been solved very well.
